    On this episode of HotDadRadio - is that a corny way to start a podcast description? I never know. I've written what is at this point hundreds of these and not ONCE have I heard feedback from a listener about "hey, I read the podcast description and man, I'm so glad I did, it changed everything. I was going to ignore this piece of performance art disguised as three emotionally stable men talking about their place in the world and society within, but then I read "on this episode of HotDadRadio the guys....I dunno, talk about the harvard prison experiment" and just had to tune in. NEVER HAS THAT HAPPENED. And I don't even know who SEO is...why am I writing for a musician I don't even listen to? Any way - Portland, the Oatmeal, vacation prep, and a cliff-hanger...in that order? Enjoy the abrupt ending! @HotDadRadio on IG

  • HotDadRadio - The 2026 Box Office Draft w/ Special Guest

    HotDadRadio - The 2026 Box Office Draft w/ Special Guest
    Feb 1 2026
    Three hosts. Seven picks each. Two cinematic curses per enemy. 🎬🔥 The 2026 HotDadRadio Box Office Draft puts Derek, Josh, and special guest Lizzie Spellman in a high-stakes movie prophecy cage match. They draft the films they think will dominate theaters all through 2026… then gleefully saddle each other with a couple guaranteed bombs. When the year ends, the box office decides who’s a visionary and who should never be allowed near a trailer again. Bragging rights included. Popcorn recommended. 🍿📈

    You’re reading the part of the podcast description that appears on every episode. This is where we establish vibes, talk in the third person, and politely remind you that this show exists in more than one place. Noodlin’ with Josh is a conversational podcast about creativity, career detours, internet culture, and the strange connective tissue between work, art, and modern life. Sometimes it’s a solo spiral, sometimes it’s a guest, sometimes it’s a roundtable. It always starts with curiosity and ends wherever the thread snaps. If you’d like to follow the show, lurk, or accidentally become part of the extended universe, here’s where to do that: • Instagram: @NoodlinwithJosh • Twitter: @joshweavr • Bluesky: @joshweaver.bsky.social • Twitch: @HotDadRadio Live streams, bonus conversations, and cross-show experiments happen regularly, so following along is the best way to catch the full experience.

  • HotDadRadio - Episode 22 - Where Ya Been?!

    HotDadRadio - Episode 22 - Where Ya Been?!
    Dec 24 2025
    Josh and Derek dig into money, success, and what people should do once they’ve “made it,” unpacking why hoarding wealth feels broken and why giving back should be part of the endgame. That spirals into Josh teasing his upcoming 40th birthday roast, which promises radical honesty, emotional casualties, and zero safe words. From there, the conversation swings to fantasy football championship chaos, league ethics, and the urgent need for a proper trophy or belt, plus a truly cruel loser punishment involving Packers gear. The episode closes with music documentary talk, a very casual Christina Applegate sighting in Laurel Canyon, Counting Crows discourse, and half-serious plans to hit a bowl game or rivalry matchup in the future. Equal parts reflection, rivalry, and unearned confidence. Just how we like it.

    HotDadRadio - Ep 21 - Interview w/ Mark Hicks - Pucks, Presidents, and Parking Lots
    Aug 16 2025
    In this episode of HotDadRadio, we sit down with longtime Detroit Red Wings photographer Mark Hicks to hear how he went from motocross racer to capturing some of the most iconic moments in hockey history. Mark shares how a chance trade of gigs in 1988 led him to the Red Wings, where he built a career documenting playoff runs, rivalries, and milestone achievements. We cover: Mark’s early days working for free before turning photography into a thriving side hustle into a main-gig business selling his photography. The evolution of professional sports entertainment and strategies for reviving baseball and hockey for new audiences. (Hint: It involves keeping the bat.) Life behind the glass—documenting rivalries, concussions, and unforgettable playoff series. Coaching youth and college hockey, and how lessons from the Red Wings shaped his teams’ success. His surreal trip to the White House during a Stanley Cup visit, where he was escorted out—then brought back in to meet President Bill Clinton. The business of sports photography, from licensing to the changing economics of stadium ownership. Personal stories about balancing a corporate job at Ford Motor Company while chasing his passion for photography. We also talk content creation, podcast planning, and the future of live streams during hockey season. Whether you’re a Detroit Red Wings fan, a sports photography enthusiast, or just love behind-the-scenes stories from the world of professional sports, this episode is packed with insights, history, and plenty of humor.

    HDR Ep. 20 - the Twenthiest
    Aug 10 2025
    In this chaos-fueled episode of Hot Dad Radio, Josh, Derek, and Ryan (plus a muted Paul Blart cameo) spiral from steak-sizzling ASMR to an unfiltered takedown of tech titans, third-party politics, and ketamine-fueled billionaires. They debate Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg, geek out over The Social Network 2, and unpack the wildest Hunter Biden interview quotes. Somewhere in the mix, there’s heartfelt tribute to Malcolm-Jamal Warner, a Hulu binge recommendation (Missing Persons Unit), deep dives into forgotten sitcoms (Listen Up with Jason Alexander), and an impromptu plan to stream them for charity. Add in a sprinkle of music league hype, Veep quotes, and soapbox moments about slowing down your news consumption, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts political bar fight, pop culture rabbit hole, and group therapy session. It’s Hot Dad Radio: unfiltered, unpredictable, and unapologetically all over the damn map. Ask ChatGPT

    Josh, Derek, and Ryan swap Garfield stickers, roast Derek’s music league flop, and dive into the absurd: Elon Musk’s Tesla meddling, Hunter Biden’s presidential “what if,” Aaron Sorkin taking on The Social Network sequel, and the passing of Malcolm Jamal Warner. They also plot a fantasy football league, charity stream, and a nostalgic binge of Jason Alexander’s Listen Up.
